The first mention of the Rimburg mill goes back to 1543. It has always belonged to Rimburg Castle and was used as a forced mill at that time.
On the Dutch side there was an oil mill that also belonged to Rimburg Castle. This was built in the second half of the 16th century. In 1880 it underwent a thorough renovation and a switch to turbine drive.
But both mills are now at a standstill.

The mill complex was built sometime after 1791. It belonged to Rimburg Castle and was part of a large mill complex with two water wheels (undershot) that was located on both banks of the Worm. The main building, house and farm were on the right bank and another mill building on the left bank. There were all kinds of distribution sluices to use the water. Initially the mill on the left bank was an oil mill.
